Ecclesiastes 9:13-16

13I also have seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it made a deep impression on me.

14There was a small town with a few soldiers in it, and a powerful king came to attack it. He surrounded it and blockaded it.

15A poor, wise person was found in that town. He saved the town using his wisdom. But no one remembered that poor person.

16So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength,” even though that poor person’s wisdom was despised, and no one listened to what he said.
